ClaudeClaude Code has taken the AI scene by storm. The coding automation is on the next level. However, there were privacy concerns about the code Claude generated. People started asking where that code was really coming from, whether snippets were trained on private repos, and what was actually stored behind the scenes. Anthropic moved quickly to clarify things, tightened its messaging, and put more emphasis on how it handles data. It did not kill the momentum, but it did spark a real conversation. One of those moments where the tech is impressive, but trust still matters just as much.
Meanwhile, you can run Claude Code locally on your machine using local open-source models. This walkthrough will show you how to let the AI read files, edit code, and run commands without sending any data to the cloud. There’ll be no API costs and no tracking. So you can code your app peacefully with complete privacy.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to:
Choose your local AI model (AI brain)
Install Claude Code
Point Claude to your local machine
Launch Claude and run a real test
Let’s dive in!
